What are the Advantages of Using Sol-Gel for Catalyst Preparation?
The sol-gel method offers several advantages when used for catalyst preparation:
Homogeneity: The molecular level mixing of precursors ensures a homogeneous distribution of active sites. High Surface Area: The porosity of the sol-gel derived materials provides a high surface area, crucial for catalytic reactions. Versatility: It allows the incorporation of a wide variety of elements and compounds into the catalyst structure. Control over Structure: The process parameters can be tuned to control the texture, porosity, and particle size of the final product.
